  • A partial product comes from multiplying by one digit of the bottom number.
  • Write a placeholder zero when you multiply by tens, hundreds and so on.
  • Add all partial products to get the final product.
  • Estimate by rounding each factor to its greatest place before you multiply.
  • An area model splits each factor by place value and shows the same partial products.
